MKM Burnley Arvenis Liner Lock Flipper Knife Black G-10/Green Al (3.35" Satin)

I tend to play it safe with buying from brands that I am more familiar with like: Spyderco, Kershaw, cold steel, Benchmade, etc. Took a stab at this one because the price point for 3.35 inches of M390 is a killer deal. And I have to say, 'WOW!!' this is a superbly made knife. Usually, I feel I overpay for a knife, ahem Spyderco, cough, cough anyway, I have a multitude of knives and I have to say this one is easily worthy of a $160-$170 price based on its feel in hand and excellent craftsmanship. Here is a little run down: -G10 handle is textured, but not rough or overly grippy; -The blade is centered, hair shaving sharp out of the box, with a satisfying heft for flipping. -Opened mine up to do general clean up and lube, but it was super clean throughout barely had to do much. Blade functions on dual nested bearing washers and what looks to be a ceramic detent ball and action is buttery smooth from flip one! -I do have XL sized hands but it fits like a dream and is smoothed and champhered all throughout making is extra comfy to hold and fidget. -The pocket clip is well thought out and rests on aluminum inlay so it should not tear up any pockets. Possible cons or things to consider: - It is a bit hefty due to full nested steel liners, no cut-outs for weight reduction, but it feels so solid I like what they did and still very pocketable. -Also, the liner lock is flush with the handle and can take a little getting used to disengaging. I am left-handed and after about a week of fidgeting with it I can easily open/close one-handed with either hand. I hope this helps for those of you considering it. Stay strong, live sharp.
